    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wish I was an established music buff so that my review would be taken as seriously as I need it to be but GOD everyone needs to listen to this album. Even if it's not typically your thing, I promise you that you'll vibe with it because j-hope pulls from all sorts of influences that go way beyond kpop. He goes way beyond kpop and I'm so proud that he's getting the recognition he deserves. Intro and Pandora's Box are situated perfectly in the album; the intro hooks you in and intrigues you as it leads straight into Pandora's Box, giving you a little taste--a little nibble--of what you're really in for. An amazing introduction to j-hope for first-time listeners. His song "MORE" alone shows off his insane range and unmatched ability to seamlessly blend genres that you wouldn't expect. I'll actually never shut up about MORE because (I'm sorry but) no one in the kpop industry could make a song like that. Future and Equal Sign are beautiful musically and they carry so much power in the lyrics. Literal anthems of hope!! STOP needs to be talked about and studied by producers, writers, all musicians, even sociologists, and psychologists can learn from it. WHAT IF is wonderfully nostalgic for hip-hop fans and serves justice to a sample of an iconic classic--listen to the album if you're curious ;). Safety Zone for me can be seen as a part two to Blue Side off of his first mixtape as they both explore the importance of finding and owning a sacred place to reflect on yourself. The song just puts you in that relaxing, introspective mood. Even the interlude Music Box: Reflection is addicting in a creepy, alluring way. And Arson...what a way to end a masterpiece of an album. PLEASE read the lyrics (or translations) to all the songs but if I had to pick one to urge everyone to read, it would be Arson. I think anyone reading those lyrics would have a better understanding of j-hope as an artist and as a person. I would say more but I don't want to waste your time because you ~could~ stream Jack In The Box right now. If you're here, I mean, you might as well. :)
    Thank you j-hope

    Jack in the Box discusses themes of passion, ambition, humanity, insecurity, success, and anxiety about the future. Primarily an old-school hip hop record, the album features a blend of genres, including pop, grunge, and R&B.

    Este álbum es una joya sobre todo las personas que tuvimos nuestra adolescencia en los años 90'. Es una fusión perfecta de estilos Hiphop de la old school con dejos de un rock pop . Cada mensaje se queda grabado en la piel y las melodías pegadizas llenas de euforia para cantar a todo pulmón en los conciertos.

    This album did what it needed to do. It told the world that Jhope is more than a smiling face who dances for a boyband. Jhope is an all-rounder performer who can sing, rap and dance. His rapping and lyricism in this album alone put him up there with the icons of this generation. This album proves that Jung Hoseok is the Greatest Of All Time and the actual ACE OF KPOP. Mic drop.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The album is pure masterpiece.J-Hope is not concerned with making a play for chart status; there are no songs of the summer. Unlike BTS’s most recent releases, many of which leaned into bright pop and were sung in English, his Korean rapping is foregrounded, with a few English lines thrown in for emphasis. This feels like early BTS: experimental, influenced by classic hip-hop, unapologetic. (He even samples Wu Tang Clan and Ol Dirty Bastard’s “Shimmy Shimmy Ya.”) It does not sound like the K-pop many newer fans may be used to, of singable choruses and uplifting messages meant to make summer brighter or get the people dancing.
    With Jack in the Box, though, he returns to his roots as a serious rapper, and to BTS’s roots as an act focused on shedding light on the fears that drive us. The album is mostly in Korean, with no features. The first half is tinged with darkness in its beats and its focus; the second half a bit lighter, with some R&B moments.J-Hope has not lost that passion for personal growth and willingness to be his own critic. He also uncovers a new desire to be open with his audience about the pressures of the last decade of hard work.

    Now Jack in the box reminds me of ODB and crew growing up. The difference in language makes it all the better. JHope is quite the performer and this album shows that he transcends the genre that his group portrays.

    El arte no tiene restricciones y jhope con JACK IN THE BOX manifiesta tanto deseo como aspiraciones, expresando que el conformismo no debería normalizarse, que la sociedad debería quitarse prejuicios para aspirar a más. Además de plasmar a través de dicho álbum su crecimiento artístico y logrando ser muy versátil al incluir el rock y llevarlo a su estilo tan único.

    “Jack in the box” was a completely different concept from J hope.

He also talks about social like equality irrespective of gender , nationality, sexuality and instead of pointing our differences lets find the things on which we agree .STOP is about how he still believes in humanity and those who do bad inhuman things shouldnt be regarded as humans .Safety Zone is such a personal song according to me its that constant loneliness we feel as adults although we keep on doing our chores ,go out meet people but are constantly looking for that "place" or "person" where or with who we can be completely ourslef , our family cant understand our professional life and our friends are not as close as family , so he wants to know where is his "safe" place. Future is little bit brighter in comparison that he will still keep doing his best without knowing about future or what it will bring .Arson acc to me how he completely burned his self for this album or in his career as general that is worked really really hard and now is contemplating should he put out the fire or keep burning which will know in his next work.

J-hope’s vocals are as rich with character as ever, with his totally unique rap style, balanced at times with sweet R&B vocals. JITB contains an entire narrative arc—a rare opportunity these days to enjoy an album from start to finish, the way the artist intended. J-hope is one of the most popular artists in the world, but he still makes his story relatable: struggles with identity, inner demons, finding meaning and balance, and trying to find one’s place in the process of working for social justice. Fans of many genres should find a lot here to get excited about. And as proof, the Jack in the Box album was included in the Best 50 albums of year 2022 published by NME. Please check out his performance at Lollapalooza in 2022 to see a live orchestra version of this album and songs from his mixtape "Hope World". Expand

    I'm not a BTS fan, but I must admit, this album is amazing.The lyrics are smart, positive and comforting. Old school hip-hop and rnb are very present on the album. Anyone who doesn't appreciate this album is missing a lot of pure hip-hop.

    j-hope never miss! From Hope World to JITB, every song has a piece of him, a story. He really means it when he said, he puts his heart and soul into his music. With JITB, he has a story to tell so I advise to listen to it from start to finish. He’s one of the few authentic artists nowadays. Looking forward for more of his music.

    El álbum es simplemente genial, la forma en la que Jung Hoseok plasma e intenta mostrarnos un lado del él, al que no estabamos acostumbrados, me parece fantástica. Sin duda sus capacidades para trasmitir sensaciones a través de la música, son de admirar.

    J-Hope demuestra en Jack in The Box una faceta totalmente diferente, es una maravilla de álbum para escuchar en cualquier ocasión, Arson, More o Future son canciones que te atrapan desde la primera vez que las oyes. TOP del año

    Whether the music on Jack in the Box suits your taste or not, it’s hard to dismiss this album as an artistic statement rather than just chapter 1/7 of BTS proving they can also make money in ways beyond official group releases.

    The artist born Jung Ho-seok delivers emotional depth and irresistible energy. Backed by rowdy production, his aggression, raspy delivery, and tongue-twisting bars take center stage, showcasing the rap-focused perspective that he brings to the BTS formula.

    There’s an excellent three track run from “What if…,” an energetic song that samples Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s “Shimmy Shimmy Ya,” into mid-tempo standout “Safety Zone” before a touch of Hope World familiarity returns in the optimistic “Future.”
